Chapter 255: Chapter 255

After showering, Estelle Sterling and Caleb Faulkner were together in the room.

"Let’s see where Sister Eleanor is."

Estelle Sterling excitedly opened the tracker.

Caleb Faulkner watched Estelle Sterling fiddling with it with curiosity and asked, "Estelle, when did you put a tracker on Eleanor?"

"Hehehe, of course I didn’t put it on her directly. She’s too alert, it would only take a few days for her to find it if it were on her. This time I put it in the suitcase."

"Oh." Caleb Faulkner nodded in admiration, thinking Estelle Sterling was really clever.

As Estelle Sterling operated the locator, she soon noticed something was off.

"Huh? Why is Sister Eleanor on the mountain so late?"

"Could something have happened to her?" Caleb Faulkner asked, looking worried.

"Let’s make a video call to Eleanor."

Eleanor Sterling, who was encountering one mishap after another, was dragging her luggage towards the busy road.

She received Estelle Sterling’s video call.

Eleanor Sterling swiped to answer, "Estelle."

Estelle Sterling and Caleb Faulkner’s little heads appeared on the screen, "Sister Eleanor, why are you still outside this late?"

Eleanor Sterling sighed, "There were some unexpected incidents. It’s late now, you two should head to bed soon."

"Oh, then we’re off to sleep. Good night."

The video call ended.

Eleanor Sterling sighed, put away her phone, and continued walking.

Once she reached the road, she planned to call a car again to see if anyone would take the order.

Just as she took out her phone, unexpectedly a car stopped beside her.

The window rolled down, and to her surprise, it was Alaric Faulkner in the driver’s seat!

Eleanor Sterling stared wide-eyed in shock, "You... how come you’re here?"

Alaric Faulkner got out, took the suitcase from her hand, opened the trunk and placed it inside.

Then he opened the passenger door and nudged Eleanor into the seat, making her sit there in a daze.

It wasn’t until he bent down and fastened her seatbelt that Eleanor finally snapped back to reality.

But Alaric Faulkner had already closed the passenger door.

He returned to the driver’s seat and the car drove away.

"Alaric Faulkner, why are you here? Where are the kids? How did you know I was here?"

Eleanor Sterling asked every question that swirled in her mind.

It was then she noticed he was wearing casual home clothing, as if he had hurriedly rushed out from home.

Alaric Faulkner’s lips curved slightly, "There are some matters with the Faulkner Family in Aethelgard I need to handle. I brought the kids with me. They’re currently at the Faulkner residence."

As for how he knew Eleanor’s location, naturally, it was due to Estelle Sterling’s tracker, but that he couldn’t reveal to Eleanor.

Upon hearing this, Eleanor Sterling sighed.

Alaric Faulkner asked, "Why were you on the roadside?"

Perhaps because of Alaric Faulkner’s rescue, or maybe due to the frustration she had bottled up all night, Eleanor felt especially warm having a familiar presence there.

She answered, "Negotiations with the client fell through, and I didn’t book a hotel in advance, so I’m stranded outside."

Alaric Faulkner nodded, "It’s indeed difficult finding a place at such a late hour. I have a vacant property in Aethelgard, you can stay there temporarily."

"But..." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ⓝovelFire.net

Seeming to understand Eleanor’s hesitation, Alaric Faulkner said, "If you feel uneasy about it, you can pay a rental fee."

Eleanor Sterling could only nod, "Sorry for the trouble."

Alaric Faulkner had many properties in Aethelgard, including top-notch villas, but he specifically picked a compact apartment.

The apartment seemed to be regularly cleaned, looking quite tidy.

Alaric Faulkner helped Eleanor Sterling carry her luggage upstairs, and they entered together.

Eleanor Sterling sincerely said, "Thank you for today, consider it as me owing you one."

Alaric Faulkner’s lips curved meaningfully, "You owe me more than just once."

Eleanor Sterling secretly clenched her teeth, thinking that a shrewd businessman like him might start calculating debts.

She replied, "Alright then, thanks to President Faulkner’s help, I owe you twice."

Eleanor Sterling took her suitcase from him, "Take care on your way back."

Alaric Faulkner chuckled slightly, looking at Eleanor Sterling, "Who said I was leaving?"
